Up, Up And Away With This Fun Hot Air Balloon Craft

Hot air balloons can really capture a small child’s imagination – not only are they super colourful, but you get to travel in a basket attached to every child’s favourite item, a balloon! So if you’re looking for some craft activities to occupy your kids, let them take an unforgettable trip and go Up, Up & Away With This Fun Hot Air Balloon Craft!

You Will Need:

Printer

Paper

Colouring materials

Glue

String

Small basket or box

Method:

1. Decide how many balloons you’d like to make. Download and print the templates from the list below. You can choose between the black and white (which you can colour in yourself) or the coloured version of the activity. There are three front and three back sheets, in either coloured or black and white, to make three different balloons in total.

2. If you choose the black and white option, then colour the balloons before cutting them out, as it is much easier. Choose your favourite colours and make each balloon different. Why not look at some images of real hot air balloons online to get inspiration.
